Organize The Link Hierarchies It is a good idea
to categorize and sort the links present on your
website. This makes it easier for the user to
navigate to the right web page within your
website. You can organize the links in some
space within the website or you can organize them
in the footer. For your websites home page
footer and for the footer of all the pages, it is
advisable to mention the links of the website.
You can consider adding the most popular posts
and categories from your websites blog in
various columns or you can organize smaller or
less important page links that cannot be shown in
the top navigation of your website. It is
important to ensure that you use titles and
headings appropriately for organizing all the
links so that they are easy to browse.
This footer splits into multiple columns
mentioning the important links of the website.
This is an ideal user-friendly minimal design
that simplifies things for the users. Make sure
that you do not mention too many links as they
might confuse the visitors. Moreover, using the
right color combination is also very
important. Change Your Home Screen Banners You
might be having a beautiful picture as the home
screen as your websites home screen banner. The
home screen banner of your website is the one
that greets the people who come to your website.
Therefore, if there is an occasion or a festival,
people need to see it on your website when they
visit it. For instance, if you are running some
offers for the new year, it must be shown on your
websites home page banner as well.

Ensure Website Speed If you have a large website
there are chances that the web pages might hang
or freeze while people are browsing them
simultaneously. It is important to ensure that
your website speed is taken care of by backing
your website with a powerful web hosting server.
For a medium or a large website, you can opt for
VPS hosting, cloud hosting or dedicated hosting.
An efficient and appropriate web hosting platform
will provide your website with the necessary
resources and will make sure that your website
doesnt become slow even during the high traffic
times. It is also important to secure your
website by installing an S SL certificate. An SSL
certificate helps in encrypting the information
transmitted between your website and the server
and it is important to have it installed on your
website if you are dealing with critical customer
information. A fast and secured website will
provide you benefits in terms of search engine
rankings as well. Navigation Within Website How
people move within your website is an important
point to be considered. There is nothing bad
than a website that has a disorganized or a
confusing website navigation. When you put up
internal links in your website it is important to
ensure that the customers are quickly and easily
able to find what they are looking for. It is
crucial to have navigation hierarchy,
streamlined content and a responsive website
design in order to provide a favorable browsing
experience to your users and customers. Check

Be Careful While Linking To Other Websites It is
understandable that at times you might have to
link to things that are favorable and useful for
your website visitors. in case of a blog post,
you often use a citation or some external link
source. But while linking to other websites on
your website pages and your home page, you must
be very careful while linking to other websites
as you are passing on the link benefits to them
as well. When placing any other website link on
your website, you need to ask yourself if you
really need your visitors to see this link? does
it help your website? Place other website links
only of it is inevitable or extremely
important. Avoid The Use Of Social Media Icons
On Your Website Header It is definitely
important to have social media icons on your
website but having them right on your website
header is not a good idea at all. These buttons
are colorful and attractive but if any of your
visitors happens to click on them then the
visitor will land on a social media website that
might distract him/her. once navigated to a
social media website, the visitors are unlikely
to come back on your website. The right approach
is to place the social media buttons on the
footer of your website. once the visitors are
done browsing your website, they might think of
connected with you on the social media websites.
For instance, here is MilesWeb websites footer
through which you can connect with them on the
social networks.

• Go With Standard Layouts
• Weird or complicated is not usually pretty! The
  truth is that a website that follows a standard
  and a clean layout is more likely to be loved
  more. The websites that are considered to be
  more beautiful and favored are high in
  phototypicality and have low visual complexity.
  You might think of differentiating your brand by
  using a different design or by arranging your
  website element in a different way but this wont
  help you if the layout confuses the people.
• Be different in what you say not how you say it!
• So what is a standard layout? A standard layout
  consists of the following aspects
• your brand logo in the top left
• horizontal navigation in the website header
• Search bar present at the top
• Social media icons in the footer
• Mobile responsive design
• A decent and impressive color scheme
• Avoid The Use of Long Content Paragraphs
• If someone wants to quickly glance through your
  website, large content blocks are not going to
  do any good. You might want to mention some very
  important points but it is ideal to break them
  and use them as pointers or small paragraphs.
  This helps in enhancing the readability. As a
  thumb rule, avoid writing paragraphs longer than
  3-4 lines. if visitors see big content blocks on
  your website, they might not be interested in
  reading them and the important points that you
  want to portray on your website might go
  unnoticed.
